Are those just lowering springs or full coilovers? I didnt think you could get just the springs for the DSG.

Cheers, Great looking car by the way!

Thanks for getting back to me, I was under the impression that I had to get coilovers! I don't really want to spend that much so those springs are ideal, you wouldn't happen to have a part number? Are there any other mods needed to put those on? Cheers

You're welcome mate, the part number is 29018-1 (29018-2 is for diesel)
No additional mods required, only swap the older ones with these new ones.

I think those springs are the perfect height judging by those pics.

Yes, the eibach are not as low as these, specially at rear axle.

If you combine them with bilstein dampers you will get a very effective integration, the originals are not bad, but they are not designed to work correctly with shortened springs and will break prematurely, if you do not mind... ;)

btw the ride height and performance with stock dampers are good.

cheers

Really nice car! :thumbup:

Although i m not a carbon lover (should i get banned? haha), i have to admit that the front bumper looks great!
I started thinking about doin' the same on my black FR.

Question:
How did you fit the light in the (OEM) glove box compartment? Is there any guide, i would like to do the same on my car! No light is sometimes very annoying!

Hi Viktor. I have just bought the mini umbrella/sun visor could you please quickly explain how you fitted this as I have just bought the same one. Did you have to cut off any of the plastic clips before mounting it?

Thanks
Tried to pm you but your inbox is full mate

Lovely car mate!.. I'm thinking of getting spacers like yours, whats your opinion on them? Does it affect anything (handling, ride, etc..)

Cheers, and once again, love the car!
